Zach and Kido look at each other, quickly close the window and hide under the school desks. The squeaky hinges on the door squeal as the door opens, a torch darts through the room barely missing Kido.
"Coulda sworn i heard something..."
Footsteps sound as someone walks around the room, Zachs eyes slowly adjust to the darkness allowing him to see the guard.
A large man wearing black clothing with what looks like a ballistic vest on. He looks to be black with dreads and scars littering his face.
Zach feels like this guy could be tough to beat if it devolved into a fist fight. He looks at Kido with a questioning gaze and Kido tells him to wait.
...
...
"Guess it's nothing."
The Guard leaves and shuts the door behind him,
.Close one.
"Check the cameras on the other side of the door."
Zach looks down at the pad accessing the security camera, he sees the guard sit on a sofa chair in the hallway.
He lights up a cigarette while playing with a set of cards.
.He's sitting outside alone, should we take him?.
"Yes, wait here"
Kido stands up and goes to the back of the door, he stamps on the floor making a dull sound just enough for the guard to hear.
"Turn off the camera for a minute"
Zach quickly makes the camera loop the recording of the guard sitting down.
Footsteps are heard again, faster than before.
Squeeeeak,
"There must be someone here..."
The flashlight seems to be shaking,
"I-it can't be a g-g-ghost right?"
Seems like this massive guy is afraid of ghosts, shame we can't prank him while we are on a mission.
As the man walks in Kido starts to strike.
He runs and kicks the back of the mans knee boosting himself and enabling him to reach his neck, Kidos short stature doesn't seem to faze him as he Puts the nearly 6ft tall man into a choke hold,
"Zach now!"
Zach runs and punches the stationary man in the face,
Crack!
His nose seems to have broken, Zach continues to try knock him out as Kido holds him down.
"Get off of me!"
The mans fading voice is heard as the last punch knocks him out,
.Huff, huff... What now?.
"We gag him, tie him and leave him here."
.You got the rope... I don't know how to tie knots by the way...
Kido pulls rope out of the bag and cuts a long piece, 
"I wonder what you actually do in your spare time."
.Computer games...
Kido searches the man retrieving a funny looking keycard and pockets it.
They tie the man and leave him under the teachers desk, Zach kick him again just for good measure probably buying them a bit more time.
.We still have to go to the second floor.
"Lets go, we haven't got all night"
They leave the room, Kido leads the way observing everything from movement to sounds. Zach uses the pad to loop the Security cameras.
While walking down the hallway, light comes through a crack in a door.
Kido ignores it but Zach approaches and looks through the crack, he sees a group of people playing what looks to be poker... .Where did they find a poker table a school?.
Kido drags Zach away from the room to avoid a problem arising,
"We have a job to do, remember?"
.Sorry, Sorry.
Zach continues turning cameras off as they approach the stairs.

"Come on guys, i don't wanna miss the poker..."
"We have to guard the room..."
"Oh come on, you think anyone is dumb enough to try to fuck with us?"
"I guess"
The two men walk past and towards the previous room not noticing the Chubby and Asian ninjas sat in the corner.
.That was easy...
"Shut up and concentrate"
They go up the stairs and reach the office while turning off the cameras.
"Keep watch"
Kido sits and starts fiddling with the lock to the double doors of the office.
Zach puts his back to the wall while looking towards the stairs.
After a while Zach hears a voice,
"Man, wait here... I forgot my wallet"
.Shit, how long you got Kido?.
"Another 5 minutes"
.We don't have 5 minutes, someones coming.
"I can't stop now or the alarms will go off!"
.Fine, i got this.
Zach sneaks to a room near the staircase and waits. When he hears footsteps approach he does the same thing Kido did earlier, stamping on the floor he waits.
The footsteps stop as someone walks to the door.
The door nob turns as a flash light peers around the room, he walks inside and calls.
"Who's there?"
BZZT,
Zach jumps on the mans back and covers his mouth while jamming a rob into his back.
"MMMMm!"
A muffled voice sounds as the man falls over unconscious and smoking.
Zach searches him finding nothing but a pack of cigarettes and a butterfly knife, he takes them and goes back to Kido.
What Zach finds is the double doors open and Kido waiting beside them.
.We have a time limit until they come looking for that guy.
"Lets get to it then."
They turn off the cameras in the officer and look for physical evidence, Kido turns on the computer and inserts a flash drive.
"What the fuck..."

Young dude gets an evolution system and attempts to live a lazy stable life...

Filled with joy from the events of the evening, Reena lay In bed as she softly hummed to herself. Soon, her parents would become immortals when they formed their nascent soul. She wouldn't have to worry much about their eternal being anymore. As long as they endeavor to stay out of trouble and harm's way, they would be able to live for eternity. 

Immortality! 

Deep in thoughts, Reena let out a soft breath as her mind wandered back to the proceedings of the forsaken palace. The godly palace she came upon by pure luck due to her keeping a reasonable awareness on her child's whereabouts. His safety was of utmost importance to her. This decision had been proven right. Or else, how could she have been there for him and the rest, when they were in difficulties. On that, it was a right decision.

It was through this way, that she encountered the forsaken palace.

Ah! The forsaken palace. She closed her eyes as she recollected the events from them leaving the Luduans. With one leg half-way in, she heard the voice of the giant residuum, Darghek.

"Remember, this palace is a spacetime. You will find yourself in different places and if you find yourself in difficult positions, simply exit. May fortune smile on you."

As her right foot landed inside the palace, cold wind rushed to meet her face. The wind was, mildly, plucking at her hair as she stepped into the open valley. Her light yellow robe, made from an ember spider's silk and embedded with the lower-grade defensive runes, danced to the rhythm of the cold air. 

Quickly adjusting to her surroundings, she slowly looked around, in detail examination of the place. 

The place was a small valley yet it felt large to Reena. The medium-sized path she was standing on, led to an old-looking cave at the other end. Even though she didn't feel herself at any risk, she could sense the valley's air had traces of immortal elements. 

Suddenly, she had the feeling of being vividly alive and anxious. It was as if her immortal soul was being weighted on a divine scale.

"Immortal transient."

A moment in immortality. Reena thought to herself as she lowered her head and indulged herself in the feelings. Briefly, she had the moment of seeing herself through the eyes of the universe.

"All souls can be immortal but not all souls can be divine."

Reena raised her head as she continued to stand in place, staring at the old cave. Though she was a nascent soul and a demigod for what it meant, she knew a place like this valley, could only be a true immortal place. Should she turn back now or go ahead? Coming to the conclusion of the significance of a place like this, she walked towards the cave. What harm was there to see what was on the other side of the cave? Especially, when there was a certain name she could call to take her to safety.

"Welcome to Suorang!" 

A chiming voice sounded out from all directions, stopping Reena on her track. The echo of the voice continued over the cacophony of the valley, creating a vibrating world of sounds. In a flash, Reena looked around but couldn't find the location of the voice, only a gathering energy field. From the field, emerged a four-feet tall entity with four gossamer wings, hovering in the air. 

A Saladar fairy.

Fairies! Extremely powerful entities of the Starstride dimensional plane. Their powerful immortal nature was due to the fact they were born as innate bloodline entities like the divine beasts and with a golden core.  That was the reason why they were directly used by the celestials to carry out deeds and errands.  

"That was a loud voice, right? Yes, I know. I had to put some effect on it to sound like that. It's first-time effect is impressive. You should have seen your face. Hehe."  

"All-right, now back to you, Who are you, and why are you here?"

Just as Reena was about to reply, she was quickly and swiftly cut off.

"Just joking with you. I know who you are, Asura. And, I know why you are here. A demigod looking for her share of the treasures of the Silent-Seeker. I know that too well but don't get me wrong, that's fine by me and by you too, I guess. If not, you wouldn't be here. Right?" 

The fairy stared at Reena in expected confirmation of his words. After recieving a shrug from Reena which he took as an agreement, he continued. 

"Very well then. Kindly follow me, demigod."

The Saladar fairy made some hand seals before ceading Reena into the immortal cave. The sight of the interior made Reena smiled in surprise. The inside of the cave reminded her a little bit of their own cave-house. It was a cave, no doubt, but the inside was an open space that led to two massive stone doors. The place could have passed for a plain if not for a small mildly glowing energy pool to the right of the cave and a designed area to the left.

"I welcome you to Suorang, Asura. This was the immortal cave of the highcelestial Silent-Seeker. He left behind many treasures for worthy souls. Most of his treasures had been claimed over the years but some still remain. Which one are you here for, Asura? Are you here for his martial arts legacy?"

With gleaming eyes, the Saladar fairy asked Reena in anticipation.

"Yes."

Reena answered. She had no idea what martial arts legacy the fairy was talking about. But, she would just play along. Though, the thought of having a martial art legacy of a highcelestial was more than appealing. 

"The Symphony of the Soaring Sky? At last, after many years, a demigod is here to claim the martial legacy. If only you could see how happy I am for you, Asura. But there'a little problem, Asura. This legacy is behind those doors. All you have to do, is just to pass through those doors to the other side. If you don't mind this, then you need not worry much." 

The fairy spread his hands around as he gave a nod to Reena.

"As you can see, this is a spacious area. You can replenish your lost energy and quickly recuperate here, if there's need for it. You have the energy pool to the right and training area to the left. It's possible you might not need them, though I doubt that. But if you need them, as I know you will, You can make use of them as much as you want."

"What is this about, fairy?" 

"High treasures come with some obstacles. This one is no difference. You see, for you to get to the legacy yo seek, you have to face a little obstacle. Don't worry, it's just a little one. But if you try to pass and you manage to, you can come back here to replenish yourself in the energy pool and then do some practise, if you want. No need, if you don't want."

He waited as he keenly observed Reena.

"Or rather, you can just go back and leave this place behind you. No harm done."

After waiting for couple of seconds and no response from Reena who had her eyes fixed on the doors with grim determination, the fairy nodded his head.

"I see you have made up your mind. Proceed when you are ready. And please, try not to die in there. I've had enough of demigods who thought they could make it in fastlight to the other side but ended up in Radar's light. You will have a fixed time to try your luck, Asura. When the time runs out, you will have to leave this place. There will be three warnings that your time is running out, if you are inside, you should leave immediately. If not, you will certainly die."

With a flaming force-field sorrounding her, Reena approached the massive doors. As she neared the doors, they slowly swung open outward, giving off a grinding sound. She examined the doors, carefully, and discovered that they were covered in different types of runes. The runes were giving off strong white glows and powerful energy emission. 

Though the energy were not posing any known threat to her, she could feel its intense power. They had to be inscribed and embedded with an heavenly grade rune-maker, at the least.

Inside the doors of the Saurang cave, Reena found a wide path in front of her. They led to an opening at the other end. That must be the exit out of this place. 

To her instict, everything seemed too quiet and too peaceful. Using her divine sight, Reena could see traces of powerful essence but couldn't detect what was causing them and why. She didn't wait for long before she had her answers. There was a shimmer of energy and entities started to manifest on the two sides of the path. 

Invisibility array. Had to be heavenly grade too. She should have thought about that possibility. Her attention was quickly drawn back to the present. She couldn't afford to be lost in focus in a place like this with this entities.   

Heavily built mortal-like entities with arms and legs that resembled oak trees. With their pebbly dark skin, wide mouths with sharp pointed teeth. Large and dark unblinking flat eyes, showing no emotions. Their large bodies were covered by big throbbing veins, sparsely covered by obsidian armor plates.

Dreads. 

Just like the demigods, the revenants and many other dimensional entities, the dreads were also located on a dimensional plane. The Dark Sumara dimensional plane. 

Naturally, they were more powerful than mortals and some immortals. They were ones of the most powerful entities on any dimensional plane.  

And these were not just dreads, these were the mutated dreads. Without their mutation, dreads were already powerful immortals. Adding mutation to that, increased their power level beyond their natural limits without ascension. 

She watvhed as they loomed over her, patiently waiting like coiled snakes for the word to strike. They all fixed their glance, down at her as she stood inside an array at the entrance of the opened gates. Their gazes were as cold and vengeful as those of the nether fiends. 

And there were tens of them standing there, lining the path. Reena could feel the cold stares and the twisted divine auras coming from the dreads. A demigod she might be, but she also knew the indications of true forces when she saw one. And these dreads? They were true forces. With the look of things, she would have to pass through them to get to the other end. 

How would she do that? 

She knew she couldn't defeat even one at this level of her stage, talkless of a double figure. Alright, she would have to rely on her divine evasion to get to the other side or to flee.

"If you are ready Asura, you may step out of the array and proceed towards the cave. Remember, you have limited time. You can come back outside and prepare yourself again if you need to."

Few minutes after entering, Reena returned to the outside in a rush. Looking very uncomfortable, she had come to realize that the dreads are more powerful than she thought. True, she had faced the godly golems at the valley of the gods, but these ones, they were totally different. These were deadly opponents who were ready to cut her into little pieces. Unlike the golems, they were not reducing their strength rather, they were happy to get rid of her as quickly as possible. 

She had tried to use her phoenix inferno mystical arts but was not even effective against one dread. She had also used the divine evasion but realized that they were as fast as she was. There was no way she could face them in martial or mystical arts, she would have to outrun them. The only possible way to stsy alive.

Where was the fairy, anyway?

Quickly checking her sorroundings, Reena couldn't locate the whereabouts of the fairy. If he was here, maybe he could tell which way to go. Heaven's forsaken Salader. Reena decided to replenish herself from the energy pool before trying again.

Every day, Reena would attempt the the dreads path and would come back to the pool to replenish herself. Though, she noticed the water of the energy pool was fast depleting, she continued making use of it. 

On the second day, immediately after drinking from the last amount of the energy water, Reena sat down in a lotus position and started to cultivate using the astral primal technique. Before, she was only drinking the water to replejish herself and now, she decided to cultivate with it. This was a random thought that came to her mind. 

After few hours, Reena began to feel the roiling of the energy in her soul. Deep into her own soul, Reena could feel her soul being covered by a nimbus of chromium yellow-blue fire. It was forming a cocoon around her soul. She could feel her nascent soul undergoing transformation which made her smile broadly.

Several hours later, the nimbus dissipated and Reena stood up smiling. Her nascent soul had advanced from the middle stage to the gates of the late stage of nascent soul. 

"Hehehe."

Her joy knew no bounds. Advancement like this, was the dream of all cultivators. Divine favour on the the highcelestial Silent-Seeker.  

She continued doing this and trying the dreads passage, for the remaining days. By the end of the fourth day, Reena wal already knocking on the doors of the peak-stage nascent soul. 

With the energy pool drained, Reena decided to try the dreads passage. With a stronger flaming force-field, she proceeded towards the massive doors.

In the dim and distant past, during the days of the mighty primordials, there was an epic tale. 

A tale of divine transcendence. 

This was the saga of a reincarnated young cultivator, named, Ju Feng.   

He was only an infant when he was killed in his previous life, alongside his mother, Zhang Xiu Ying, by an army of atramental creatures. 

By fate or fortune, Zhang Xiu Ying had activated the Karmic virtues of a celestial at the point of death. Through this, they attained reincarnation into a spacetime of powerful entities who were seeking their death. Entities with powers beyond ordinary imagination. 

Why are the deadliest and most powerful entities in creation, seeking the mortal extinction of the mother and son? Will the two survive or be permanently extinguished from existence?

Live the story and tell the tale.

This is the Pathway to Eternity.

"You three sure are close."

(Female classmate 2) blurted out. Hearing that, the others also watched us with suspicion.

"Yeah, we are. Isn't that right, (friend)?"

"Huh..? Uhm..yeah."

The other classmates reacted to that.

"Eh? You're not denying it?" "For real?!" "Even though you were strongly denying it earlier?"

(They sure are lively. Welp, it's better than fighting each other i guess.)

...

When we were about to throw the dreads out of the window, (Crush) came close and observed the dreads seriously.

"Something wrong."

I asked her.

" Nope, it's just that there's seven parts in total that changes their body..."

She continued after a slight pause.

"But, they all didn't have the same changes."

I was slightly surprised about that. A classmate joined in our conversation.

"So what if they have different transformations, is it really that important?"

"Of course it is. Look at them."

She pointed at five dreads and continued explaining.

"They're the ones who raped or was about to **** the girls. Meanwhile..."

She suddenly pointed at one of the dread. Looking closely, it was the one who caught (Crush).

"This one just straight up tried to bite me."

Hearing that, I also found it mysterious. I mean, the one who tried to **** (girl 1) noticed me so it stopped midway and hurriedly changed its actions to biting her. But, the one who caught (Crush) was so focused on her and didn't noticed me yet. While I was in thought, (Crush) continued.

"The ones which were obsessed with **** has tails. While this one doesn't."

"So?"

A classmate pressed for answer.

"Remember what the voice said earlier? About embracing darkness or something? This is just my speculation but doesn't it feel like the dreads are moving by desires or the seven sins? Look at that one he has a big stomach and the others' aren't as big as his. He's such a glutton remember?"

""""You're right!""""

It seems like everyone were listening. Everyone was so shocked at her words. Even I was surprised that she noticed it at this kind of situation.

...

We finished throwing all the dreads and we blocked the doors with chairs, tables and anything that we could use to block it.

Everyone was lying down or sitting on the floor with their backs against the walls and chairs, hiding from the windows in front of the room. We don't have anything that we can use to cover the windows and the curtains were in shreds during the chaos inside the room. Some of us were sleeping while the others were keeping watch.

(Crush) and (friend) were sleeping by my side. (Friend) took the posture of sitting down while leaning her head on my chest, I was holding her side to keep her from falling. Meanwhile, (Crush) was curling on the floor with her head and arms on top of my lap using it as a pillow- she looks like a cute animal, i thought.

(Male 2) suddenly asked me in a small voice so as to not disturb the ones sleeping.

"H..hey, umm... Remember when you swinged the bat... Did it really reached the dread? And then there was that time when you threw it, I thought I saw it disappear and reappear. Or was it just me? I might be going crazy because of this strange things happening one thing and another."

"That's right, I thought I was just seeing things so I forgot about it. But now that you mentioned it, I wasn't just seeing things huh..."

(Male 1) followed through him. It seems like it wasn't just my imagination.

"Yeah. I thought that if I swing at that distance, I won't reach it. But I felt that it would hit even if it won't reach, and it did."

"Woah... It feels like you have a superpower or something, its so strange"

"Then again, this whole situation that we're in is already strange."

(Male 2) and (Male 1) commented. I continued.

"There was also the time when I was grabbed by the feet and reached for the baseball bat. I was dragged an inch farther and farther away from the bat. But, before I knew it, I was already holding it in my arm. At that time when I threw it, I just knew that it would hit so I just threw it."

"I see..." "At least it let us save them."

We all fell silent.

"Oh yeah, what's your relationship with them? Did you finally used your charms to seduce them?" - (Girl classmate 2)

"Yeah, you never acquaint yourself with girls. I mean, every time you talk to us the atmosphere would always become awkward. And yet, you're so close to (Friend) and (Crush) that it feels like its natural." - (Girl 3)

"Since when did you become so close to two of the most beautiful women in school, huh 'Chick repellant?'"

"You're finally showing your true colors, huh? You handsome, reverse chick magnet."

The two girls who were awake, asked the thing that they were curious about. The boys also unleashed their dissatisfaction to him.

(What's up with that chick repellant and reverse chick magnet thing that they call me? It so fits me that it hurts.)

I fell silent for a while before answering.

"One of them will become my girlfriend, but I still can't choose who."

""....""

"Huh?" "What?" ""What's up with that?!""

The girls asked in surprise. While the boys shouted in shock and disturb the ones asleep, causing them to finally wake up. One girl even screamed awake.

"Kyaah?!" "What happened?" "Is something wrong?"

They all looked around in alert. (Crush) and (friend) also woke up.

"Something happened, (MC)?"

"Uh..uhm...?"

(Crush) asked while observing the surrounding. (Friend) woke up scared and hugged me. My arm was already at her side so I hugged her back. I pulled (Crush) with my other arm and hugged her. I pet their heads and told them.

"It's nothing... Come on, get back to rest."

"Umm...okay."

(Friend) finally let go of the tension and we both cuddled together with (Crush).

...

Late at night

We already switched watch duty and I was sleeping in (Crush)'s embrace. (Friend) was sleeping with her head on (Crush)'s lap.

"...hear me?"

A voice suddenly reached our minds. I woke up, startled. The others also waked up.

The voice went silent. We kept our guards up as we waited for the announcement this time.

"I'm finally free! This is Earth(Mother Earth) can everyone hear me? If you can, raise your right hand."

I'll change the synopsis in the future.

I'm a newbie so I'll always be reading comments to know if there's something to improve the novel, like if there's a scene that lacks in explanation and is too hard to understand or if there's some scenes that can be added or erased in the story. Also don't mention the grammars anymore, because I will just rewrite it at the future. So don't hold back and start leaving hate comments.

Joke, don't hate me please.


I posted this story right now because I want other people's opinions to improve the story. I will be remaking this in the future after improving it. I will just focus on writing the story for now, so it doesn't matter if you comment right now or later. It doesn't matter if you read it right now, but please bookmark this book so you can read it and give advice some time later on before I start working on the remake.

Thank You...

As Nero and Avollo left the campus, Elly, who had been pulled away by her new friends, had arrived at the campus entrance. She stood, awaiting her ride as usual while listening to their discussion.
"Everyone, it's finally Friday, so let's go and have fun at the Paradise Palace before going home!" One quirky girl with a cheerful spirit.
Clair's eyes beamed, but she showed a trace of hesitancy as she spoke, "The Paradise Palace, I've always wanted to go there, but isn't that a place for you know... adults..."
The girl who spoke before giggled as she answered, "Hehe, Clair, you're too innocent, you should know anyone can go anywhere, it only depends on how much you are willing to spend."
Clair's eyes flashed when she heard this, showing a look of understanding. The girl then looked at Elly and Kara noticing that they were silent, she asked, "Kara? Elly? Are you coming too?"
Kara looked at her small thatched up purse with loose threads, she thought for a bit before saying, "Who's going to be paying?"
The girl shook her head and spoke, "Me, of course! Now hurry and make up your mind!"
Kara, hearing this no longer had any thoughts to reject it, she smiled and spoke, "Yay, then I shall graciously accept it."
The girl looked at Elly, but Elly hesitated a bit as she spoke, "Guys, I... my family..."
Clair didn't want to miss this chance, she grabbed Elly's arm and spoke, "Elly, you can't always keep to yourself, it's a Friday! No different from the weekends, I say we do it now instead of tomorrow. We must hang out at least once!"
Elly bit her lips and thought for a bit, but looking at the hopeful looks of Clair and the others, she sighed while thinking, 'I guess since they asked, maybe I can try it once, besides I want to know them a bit better. Maybe… maybe I can also make real friends this time around…'
Having arranged her thoughts, Elly then spoke, "Okay, fine, but we can't stay any later than 6 PM."
"Yay!" Clair and the other girls cheered out loud as they promptly pulled Elly by her arms, deciding to walk towards the Paradise Palace. 
Kara, who walked a little slowly behind them, hesitated a bit before texting a number and closing her phone. Soon, the figures of the girls vanished from the computed. However, right as this happened, Elly's driver had walked out from a corner, a smile on his face as he spoke as if speaking to someone over a phone.
"The young missus has finally found a few friends, should I still take her home by force, Madam?" The middle-aged man said while tapping an earpiece, his curly mustache giving in a refined edge.
"..." The person along the other line remained silent before they spoke in a soft and elegant tone, "No need, Screwgelman, please follow them and make sure she's safe."
"Understood!" Screwgelman replied as he ended the call, his look then turned sharp as he glanced at the side and commanded as if speaking to the air, "Drive the car the Paradise Palace, I will follow behind the young miss."
"Yes, sir!" A voice said as a flurried set of footsteps were heard, Screwgelman then walked in Elly's direction, his figure fading away as if he blended with the surroundings.
As if by some domino effect, another individual appeared from a longer route. Kara looked at the text on her phone as her face turned ruthless as she giggled menacingly, she hurried to get into the luxury car that waited on her before it drove off the campus.
Yet, following her, Benson, who took the same route frowned as he thought, 'If I recall he worked at that place, I'll speak with him there if I can...'
This strange series of connected fates, hinting towards a long afternoon and even more unusual night, come.
***
The time was now 2:09 PM, and Avollo and Nero had just pulled up in the Paradise Palace's compound. Nero then opened the door and spoke while leaving, "Thanks for the lift, take care."
As Nero was leaving, however, Avollo promptly exited the car and shouted, "What the hell are you saying? I'm coming too!'
Nero made a puzzled look at this, but didn't say anything, he made it early today, and since he would be quitting, he wanted to make the best of his hours to earn what he can.
Nero waved his hand as if saying, 'do as you wish,' while he hurriedly walked into the building. Avollo shook his head at this and walked towards the building's entrance.
However, the door opened behind him and the driver Ian,  stepped out and spoke, "Young Master Avollo, I do not think that entering such an establishment is suitable for your current standing, what would you do if your parents were to find out?"
Avollo chuckled and replied, "Uncle Ian, I've been very bored as of late, and you know better than I, what I do when I'm bored, I'm entering today no matter what!"
As Avollo said this, he didn't even wait for a reply hurrying into the building. Uncle Ian shook his head as he saw this; he knew that deep down, Avollo was still a spoiled brat and only showed his mischievous side to him.
'Oh heck fine, so what, I'll just hide it from them this time...' Uncle Ian said as he closed the doors and followed along, but as he was moving he couldn't help but notice a blond Asian youth who was playing a pinball game on his phone, the teen didn't even spare him a glance as he cut him and entered the building rudely.
'Rotten little brat, no manners at all!' Uncle Ian cursed in his mind as he gritted his teeth, but as if he felt his blood pressure rising, he calmed down and proceeded along.
The scene with the Paradise Pub was rather crammed today, as many different individuals had already arrived and were being tended to by both handsome men and sexy young women.
Others, however, were doing karaoke as a few others were playing games in the gaming quarters. Naturally, each of these sections was cut off by noise-canceling glass walls, all except for the Hook-Up Lounge, a pinkish-red wall with an alluring woman and sturdy man's silhouette capable of stirring one's passionate senses.
The usually lively bartender seemed to be in high spirits as he flirted with many girls around the counters, ignoring Nero as he walked by him and clocked in for his daily hours.
'It's packed today; I might be able to get tips if I'm lucky, and since I'm quitting later, I might as well spend an extra hour,' Nero thought as he went to the dressing room, after preparing, he quickly began to work. Yet, as he came out, he couldn't help but notice a few familiar faces.
There, in the same corner as the last, the strange men that wore hats hiding most of their face sat down in silence, giving off a suspicious vibe.
Nero even notices that other than them, were a few other usual individuals, each seeming to have some hidden agenda as they weren't even playing girls, nor accepting orders.
In fact, a familiar-looking middle-aged inspector and young beauty associate were also in the pub; they sat staring at the documents as if nothing else was necessary.
'Hmph! I don't care who any of you are, you better not get in my way!' Nero said in his mind as he no longer paid them any mind and went about to do his job. 
Still, though Nero said this, one mustn't forget he was still but a youth, feeling a bit nervous Nero heart rate sped up by a bit as he tried to focus on his job.
Adult Nero watched his in silence, he knew what was going on and didn't say anything, this was Nero's life to live now, he must learn to face his problems and mature by himself.
While Nero worked, Avollo sat in a corner, laughing as his arms were wrapped around young girls waist, the girl giggled while staring at and playing with his dreads as she spoke, "Oh my, such beautiful hair you have, so long and hard, I wonder... is 'young master' also like this?"
Avollo, hearing this girl's suggestive whisper, smirked as he was about to say something, but he noticed that Uncle Ian was disapproving of his behavior.
Avollo sighed, but he soon got an idea, he snapped his finger at a distant waitress who came over. He then whispered something to him and send her off.
Not bothering to pay him any mind, Avollo then began to chat with the beauty by his side. Uncle Ian snorted, feeling out of place, but soon, his eyes widened as a thick mature lady, filled with curves at the right places, walked over from somewhere.
"Mister, you look tired, do you need some advice?" The woman asked in a gentle tone as if like a harbor beckoning the sailor's lonely spirit at sea.
Uncle Ian glanced at Avollo who was staring at him vaguely as he gave him a thumbs-up, Uncle Ian then made a similar action as he thought, 'All shall be forgotten...'
The scene here continued to grow more exciting as more and more individuals gathered, preparing for the activities of the later hours. 

Nero Valstine was a Level 799 Master Rank Digitizer in his previous life, titled as the Silver Death God who was feared across a mysterious VR World. He had been on a special Digital Quest hinting towards the revelation of the final treasure sought by many, a treasure that can grant any of its wielders wildest dreams. Moments away from accomplishing this task, a famed figure appeared and ended his hopes, giving him a fatal blow before stealing the artifact. Nero, who died with regret, and endless rage was scent into the cycle of rebirth to start over anew, can he achieve his greatest wish and desires once more? Or does fate has other plans?

"I've got it grandpa, please take it." Faust was curious but brings the book that seems to be some kind of manuscript to his grandpa, but Gus didn't take the book, instead he told Faust to read and study the first ten pages.
"Read what it says on the book cover" Gus told Faust.
"Hmmm... Unholy sword arts? That's what it says." Faust reads carelessly while looks up at his grandpa with a questioning expression appearing on his face.
"I'm going to teach you how to use a sword" the words said by his grandpa echos in Faust's ears, while he is mopping the floor with a long broomstick but in place of the brush and stiff fibers, this broom stick has braids of cloth as brush. And when it's soaked in water it gets wet and makes it hard to move the broomstick even on the ground because of the massive amount of weight on the braids and for a kid like Faust it's like tons of weight to move.
"In a zig zag motion Faust." Gus tells faust while resting on the couch behind and watching Faust mop the floor.
"I know grandpa. I know." Faust says while pouting, fully exhausted.
*"He said he is going to teach me sword techniques but I am mopping the floor for 2 hours already like an idiot. I'm pretty sure grandpa tricked me tsk, how did I fall for this?"* Faust thinks as he mops the floor with disappointment.
*Moments ago*
"Sword arts? What is that grandpa?" Faust asks Gus as he holds and read the book that he brought from the attic.
"It's about the art of swords Faust, I'm going to teach you how to wield a sword. And this book is the manuscript of a powerful technique that your grandpa is going to teach you." Gus says proudly as he crosses his arms and his nose seemed to grow long like a Pinocchio.
Faust's face is sparkling brightly upon hearing what Gus said. Poor Faust had forgotten that one time when Gus said he doesn't even know how to hold a sword, but now, he was saying something about teaching a sword art to Faust?
"Ohhhh grandpa, you're the best! I will put my body and soul, my muscle and bone to learn this and will master it." Faust shouted loudly while he holds both of his hands together in gratitude as happy tears roll off his face.
"Wahhhhh I know my grandson, no one is suitable than you to inherit my legacy of unholy sword." Gus says while holding Faust close to his face and both of their faces sparkle brightly like little kids all over again.
*Groan~~~*
Bella groans as a way of sigh watching Gus and Faust as if they're a couple of idiots who is disturbing her sleeping time and closes her eyes to go back to sleep.
"Here Fausty, take this." Gus places a broom stick in Faust's hand.
"Huh?" The happy tears and sparkling face of Faust disappears in  an instant at the sight of a broom stick.
"Now mop the floor for 4 hours a day, after your daily exercises. Also I will add one or two more routines to your exercises which will help build your forearms and the strength of your calves." Gus mischievously says with that goofy idiotic smile of his as he closed eyes at the same time for a nap.
*Present*
*Rawrrr... Arghhhh..... Grrrr.....~~* Faust makes all kinds of sounds while mopping the floor to vent out his anger.
"Yes. Fausty yesss, you got it." Gus says while throwing his arms in front of his face and giving thumbs up to Faust.
"Stop it, grandpa." Faust is getting more annoyed with his Grandpa's gestures.
"gomu gomu noooooo-Thunder bolt... Fire bolt... arghhh~~~" Faust yells out annoyingly louder as he mops the floor harder and his anger increases towards Gus more each time.
Bella watches all of this peeking with one of her eye open. *Grrrrr* she grabs her small bed with her teeth and goes outside to sleep peacefully while staring at Faust and Gus with the corner of her eyes with all the fuss they are making.
"How are your arms feeling Faust?" Gus questions after 3 hours of continuous mopping. He is sitting on the chair with his legs crossing each other as he holds up his chin with his hand.
"They're hard as a rock and pains like hell, I can't even move them freely anymore." Faust replies to Gus while struggling.
"Good, now hold the handle of the stick with both of your hands and soak the dreads of cloth more." Gus says with a smile on his face as if he know exactly what he is doing.
Gus makes Faust hold the handle like a swordsman would hold their swords with two hands.
"Now mop again in zig zag way until the dreads looses all the water and becomes dry." Gus says to Faust.
"Grandpa, I will definitely die. This is hard to move when I hold the broom stick in the middle but not the handle? the weight distribution on the dreads makes the stick heavier like a ton. Your grandson will be dead before even learning your sword arts" Faust says desperately as he seems to almost break down in tears from the endless pangs of pain.
"Oh heh heh I thought you were determined to get stronger, so this is the only lengths you are willing to go?" Gus tries to mock Faust with his words.
"I will do it!" Faust says willingly with determination after he thoughts for a few second about what Gus says to him.
"Heh, use your right hand to push the broom left while balancing the handle with your left hand and use your left hand to push the broom right while balancing with right hand, move your legs apart, bend your knees a little forward and balance ur feet. It helps with the weight distribution and gives your arms strength." Gus says to Faust knowing exactly what to do.
Faust mops while standing In a stance which seems as if he is riding an invisible horse, his arms and shoulders still hurt more and more as he constantly move while making the horse stance every time he move to different location and mop in a zig zag way as Gus has instructed him to do.
"Ok you can stop and take some rest for today. We will train the same way tomorrow." Gus told Faust as he seems to be satisfied with the work.
The words Gus uttered sounded like the words of God that is saving his disciple from dangerous work,  to Faust, because Gus reduced and stopped the training in only 3 and half hours this is a huge relief to Faust who is experiencing hell.
*Knock knock* 
Gus and Faust hears someone knocking on the door.
"I will go get it" Faust heads towards the door and opens it.
"You little, how dare you do this to us on your first day?" The mysterious person standing near the door yells to Faust with cold eyes, tilting his head backwards and looking down on Faust with a deadly glare.
"Ehhhhh~~~ Tim? what are you talking about?" Faust says while panicking.
"My grandpa told you that he is gonna teach you martial arts and you dare not show up on time huh!" Tim shouts while gritting his teeth and sounding like one of the high school delinquent. And this makes Faust even imagines Tim with a mohawk and leather jacket as he talks.
"Uh-uh- anooo I was so tired today Mr. delinquent p-please forgive me?" Faust says while stuttering and not knowing how he can ask for forgiveness to Tim.
"Huhhhh? Who are you calling a delinquent, huhhhhh?" Tim bring his face so close to Faust's face as he was asking the question that it seems like Faust can't even breathe any longer. "I'm taking him grandpa Gus!" Tim grabs the collar of Faust and drags him out towards his home in a rush.
"N-n-nooooo! Tim my arms are sore, let me rest for today. Grandpaa, help me" Faust says while grabbing onto the door tightly,  but Gus is only smiling and waving his hand as he send Faust off.
"I had to come all the way up this stupid hill because you didn't show up on time, come you little....!" Tim pulls Faust forcefully out and starts dragging him with anger.
"Ahh Bella, Bella help me!" Faust cries as a last resort when he see Bella sleeping outside the house in her small bed.
Bella opens her eyes to see the fuss again, turns her face away from Faust, closes her eyes and goes back to sleep again as if she doesn't know him and have anything to do with Faust.
"Ahhh Bella, even you...!"
Faust gives up as his people have turned their backs against him and so he goes along with Tim without a choice of revolting.
Tim brings Faust to the training room. It's dark all around and there seems to be a throne like chair on a small stage and someone is sitting on it.
"Did you bring the ungrateful pupil of mine who didn't show up to training." Yang says while his eyes are glowing red burning like fire.
"Ehhhh Im- I'm sorry grandpa Yang, but I'm here now we can solve this with words." Faust says as he feels the chill going up to his spine from Yang's voice and falls to the ground and tries to crawl backward. Both Tim and Yang seems like thugs at this point to Faust and he will do anything to keep himself safe from then right now.
"You are going to get punished if you come late, but I will forgive you since it's your first day. Come by 5 from tomorrow. And as you are here now. Let's start the training of the art of vital points." Yang told Faust in a epic threatening tone.
"You need to train hard so you would be selected in a handful of people that goes out to mainland for their schooling. And when you go out to mainland to study, you will become stronger and learn about the world soon becoming a member of a noble family one day." Yang proudly tells the whole future tale to Faust while training him.
"Mainland? For what? I don't wanna leave Mindoro and my friends are here." Faust said without even understanding what Yang foretold. His ears only pricked like of rabbit's to the part where he just need to leave Gus and his friends and go to mainland to get strong, that's all he understood he did not catch the rest.
"Haha of course Tim, Roy and Nick have all enlisted in the program. By the time you guys join middle school you will be in the mainland and be studying in the best schools on this world. You just need to get stronger to be selected. I will recommend you to the people who evaluates so you two can go to the mainland with the rest of your friends." Yang chuckles and smiles, because of how innocent and naive Faust is without having a proper planning or strategies.
"Tim, Roy and Nick are going too?" Faust ask as he got lost in thoughts and he's getting more confused.

The aftermath of 'end of the world' and how the new beginning aroused with the discoveries of new magical realms. new sword arts and ancient martial arts. But what is beyond that? beyond our Third Dimension and beyond the earth and beyond human? how did humans come to existence? how do humans possess knowledge and is different from any other being? 

And a kid who doesn't realize the powers he is blessed with, as pain is the only thing that helped him grow faster and learn about the bitter truth about humans.

Fear, curiosity, anxiety, helplessness, powerless, worthless, selfish, being used, being ignored, isn't cared, isn't loved and more and more and all these feelings are killing him from inside while his life is hitting him harder and harder and breaking his will, his wish to live and keeps knocking him down. 

So one day he started liking all these feelings and decided that he had enough and says "I WANT TO FUCK THIS WORLD AND BE ON TOP AND RULE IT, I will pay everyone back with double the price. Even god, he needs to pay for his creation." while laughing like a maniac.

So I ask you....

Do you believe in gods? They reside in higher dimensions. And until now we have only discovered 11 dimensions, we cannot go further than that. This is about the world in 5062, land on earth has been reduced to one third. Only one continent exists, all of humanity from all regions and ethnicities had to live together on one land. During this chaos, the best group of scientists found gateways on earth to travel to different dimensions. Each dimension is a new world with its own laws of physics and principles, and new elements of nature.

Within Taf's space stone the surroundings were reminiscent of the first time training. It was a world unto itself with flowing springs, grand mountains, and an open plain.
The three glowing moons hovering above were the only indications this was indeed divergent from the outside world. Under the glow of the three moons, Taf watched as May sat in the lotus position with her eyes closed completely focused.
He smiled as there was an added beauty about her with that determined looked on her face. Soon he placed her in an area devoid of distractions of any kind, where her breakthrough would be unhindered.
After which his eyes looked down on his right arm while he sat listening to the sounds of nature around  before uttering,
🌟Elemental Art (Earth) Metallic Bones🌟
His pupils became green as he clenched his fist. There he stared as if awaiting some form of reaction while the minutes went, still there was no sign of any seeming change. Soon his eyebrows furrowed yet he persisted not moving an inch.
They say patience is bitter, but its fruit bare sweet and this was true. Soon there were signs of something peculiar occurring. Little by little, an iron sheen replaced parts of his brown skin, so much so that one of the full moon's reflection could be seen.
This brought a smile to Taf's face as he saw hints of success while pondering,
" Ever since that battle with the gorillas in Braveman's Graveyard. I've truly admired their iron body demon inherit art. Seems my metallic bones technique can indeed be upgraded as i initially thought, and what better time than the present?"
He then closed his eyes as the minutes once more began ticking by and with each second inch by inch, his body began transforming into that of iron.
Once more his eyes opened as he arose from the lotus position.
Taf's appearance had somewhat changed with all parts of his body with his eyes and locked being the exception to the iron's effect. There he stood in silence coming to terms with the changes as his dreads blew with the wind.
" Let's see the pros and cons."
While Taf spoke he eyed a tree some distance away that girth was at least 150 ft thick in diameter...
BOOOM!!!
It was blasted into bits by his iron fist as all that remained was a tree stump barely still embedded with the ground.
" Not bad!"
He exclaimed as he saw the destruction before making some mental assessments:
{Pros - Increase in strength and damage, can be used as a means of defense and minimal Qi requirement.
Cons- Decrease in speed and Inflexible movements, which makes me susceptible to counters.}
Once more Taf sat, though he was quite happy with the result, the disadvantages were ones that sometimes might be detrimental in a fight.
After all, a victor can be decided within seconds by the most minuscule of things. Now he was already disadvantaged cultivation wise, why then give this added gift to the enemy?
In his mind, he thought of possible scenarios fixing this quandary which he now found himself. Before finally, he found a temporary means,
" One of the pros of this technique is the minimal amounts of qi required. To supplement my lack of speed perhaps a slight alteration could be made.
If I were to say, activate a mere millisecond each time I lay siege with my attacks this should yield its benefits. While in defense activation can then be prolonged."
Taf rubbed his chin as all seemed plausible so he continued, " It seems my inflexible movements are mostly due to the encasing of iron around my joints.
This could be solved by relieving the art surrounding those key areas. Indirectly it provides my speed assistance while I'm in defense."
Taf felt a bit more confident as a cheeky grin formed before deactivating the art in progress.
" So that was an improvement in my earth technique, Now for you darkness..."
As Taf spoke a cube appeared before him then expanded into a large cage. The inside housed an eagle with red and yellow feathers. Its eyes were pitch black as it seemed in a docile stage.
" Hammerhead you've been quite the help while training this darkness of mine. How about a little freedom?"
🌟Elemental Art( Darkness) Chains of subjugation- Shatter🌟
Around Hammerhead's neck, black chains appeared before breaking apart the binding between the eagle and Taf. Its eyes that had been pitch black regained its previous clarity from Braveman's Graveyard.
 It shook its head and similar to a person who has been in a coma for years tried to make sense of its surroundings.
" You bastard! There is a special place in hell for beings such as yourself!" It yelled when seeing the youth before it with dreadlocks on his head.
How he detested this fiend who had bested it through a series of tricks, before shameless smashing it with a hammer atop its head. For months its consciousness was in a state where all its actions were by the whims of others.
" A little cranky are we?"
Taf mused as he saw Hammerhead within the cage going livid as it hurled insulting epithets in his direction.
However, wasn't it a pity not one of its words made it to taf's ear. Being in the 8th stage it had yet to develop the means of telepathic communication.  
" How dare you hold me hostage you worthless cub! Relieve me of this cage you coward if you have the gall!"
Hammerhead continued with its innuendos in its enraged state. From Taf's facial expression he didn't seem particularly phased by Hammerhead's state.
" I'm not sure things will proceed as you have planned. However, I'm in a giving mood." 
 Taf had a hint of what the eagle was spouting while it smashed its head against the cage, its actions were better translators than any words could be.
As Taf spoke he waved his hands and the doors to the cage became ajar.
In a state of shock, Hammerhead looked out at Taf with a bit of wariness in its eyes. Didn't he realize within a matter of secs he would be but a parched corpse on the ground?
It didn't quite remember what took place after being hit with the hammer. Only feeling as if it was in a dream-like state for the past few months.
Within its memories, it recalled being left with only its primal instincts and a need to obey all orders given.
However, now it knew how tricky this cub could be and would not make the same mistake twice, rightfully burning him into crisp. It smashed the cage gates aghast as the hate for this fiend continually built in its mind.
As it stepped out of the cage all it's pent up anger had reached its boiling point while seeing the youth with dreads acting oblivious to its actions.
Enraged its beak became aghast as a small spark of flame was seen. The spark was evidently fueled as it turned into an ever-growing ball of flames which heat combusted the nearby dry grass into ash.
While relishing in the thought of its revenge it nearly choked. Within its eyes in a flash, an iron hand firmly grasped the tips of its beak. 
" Tell me, once activated can your art be undone?"
Hammerhead struggled but no matter how it tried it could not set itself free from the clutches of Taf's grip.
"Hmm, This has always fascinated me. Will you combust if my hand is not released? If so won't that be a sight, how about I test this hypothesis?" Taf then uttered in a somewhat chilly voice.
To be continued...

Rina was born in the Kyoto prefecture of Japan, to a family of 4. 

'My new family seem pretty cool, it seems like Apollo gave me the ability to understand Japanese' thought the girl, now known as Rina Hatsume.

Including herself, there is her mother 'Kana Hatsume' a scientist who isn't at home much due to her work, her father 'Shino Hatsume' a hero costume designer who works from home and her older by 4 minutes twin sister 'Mei Hatsume'.

As Rina awoke in this new world she noticed she was already a toddler, she was currently 3 years and 10 months old. As she came to she was bombarded by a plethora of memories that gave her a mild headache which caused her to stumble down the stairs whilst she was playing with her parents and she hit her head on the wooden handrail.

This caused her to be knocked out cold and wake up a few minutes later in her yellow single bed.

As she rose from her slumber she immediately noticed that she couldn't move, on top of her was a crying mess with golden eyes and long pink hair tied in dreads that resembled tentacles. [ A/N: Look up Mei's hair it really does look like that ]

"Rina are you okay? does your head hurt?" asked her twin sister Mei.

"No Nee-san I'm fine." dazedly replied Rina, lost in thought she began to observe her surroundings.

'How should I explain my changes in personality? Would it be fine to have them believe it's because of the head injury?' thought Rina whilst wincing at the pain that came from lightly touching the newly formed bump on her head.

The room she was in had white walls with a fluffy brown carpet, 2 yellow single beds and drawer cabinets on either side of the room along with one big wardrobe which seemed to be shared between her and her sister. 

There was an open window on the opposite side of the room that allowed one to gaze upon the backyard garden full of flowers and a sole sakura tree. On the roof was a square trapdoor which seemed to be connected to a ladder that leads to the attic but it was currently closed.

Suddenly there was the sound of a herd of bulls stampeding which made Rina think that the end of her new life was swiftly approaching.

"MY BABYY! ARE YOU IN PAIN? DOES IT HURT?" shouted the clearly distraught man who seemed as if he had witnessed someone's death. 

Rina recognised this behemoth of a man as her overprotective father, he had short indigo hair that was shifted to the side, Bright gold eyes with unique crosshair shaped iris' that were showcased behind his round black glasses and a large rotund pot belly that resembled a certain hippo who "likes 'em big and chunky". [ A/N: Moto Moto is thicc ]

_____

Somewhere on a tropical island, a large crying hippo sneezed " *achoo* She left me for a giraffe! *cries*".

_____

"I feel fine dad" replied Rina pushing her sister off of her which resulted in a yelp.

"waa!"

"No, you need to stay in bed we don't know if you have another concussion." firmly stated Shino with a deadly serious expression.

"What do you mean by 'another' dad?" curiously asked Rina with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't you remember when your mother dropped the two of you girls on your heads when she took you to her lab?" Shino said in a clearly annoyed tone, before having a shoe thrown at his head.

"Don't you take that tone with me Mr, and at least the girls got some good out of it, they never would have gained an interest in technology otherwise." said a rather attractive woman with pink dreads and sharp blue eyes adorning a white lab coat who magically appeared behind Shino.

The woman in question is Rina's mother, Kana Hatsume, a self-proclaimed 'crazy scientist who will show the world the power of her glorious babies'. [ A/N: at least we know where Mei got it from ]

"Yes Ma'am!" stiffly replied Shino as he saluted like a soldier, unmoving, clearly afraid of Kana. 

'I guess he doesn't wear the pants in this family.' thought Rina as she giggled at the interactions of her quirky family.

Kana then held out a pair of red boots with metal vents on their sides and white circular pads on their bottoms which appear to be riddled with holes or some kind of design defect.

"Now then Rina, since you've woken up you can help me and Mei fix our new baby, the 'Air assist boots' all we have to do now is make sure that it doesn't explode." said Kana with a bright smile, causing Rina to sweatdrop at what she just said.

'She just said 'explode' right? How in the hell did some boots explode?' thought Rina.

"Actually, you can do that without me, right? I'm don't really want to risk having my face blown off" said Rina curing her father of his statue-like state and practically bounce in excitement, while her sister and mother acted like it was the end of the world.

"Nooo, Rina your joking right? Please say you're joking. I can't show my babies to the world without you, they'll all blow up otherwise." Begged a pouting Mei.

'Maybe she should stop being an inventor and become a terrorist instead, seems like it is her true calling' amusedly thought Rina before immediately dismissing the idea, not wanting to give her crazy sister any ideas.

"You want to become the best inventor in the world don't you nee-san? So you should learn to not make your toys explode all the time." she encouraged.

"THEY'RE NOT TOYS, THEY'RE MY BABIES!" yelled a noticeably triggered Mei, seemingly forgetting the fact that her sister doesn't want to become an inventor anymore.

"Did you hitting your head again make you lose all interest in tinkering and making new things?" asked a visibly confused and concerned Kana, as Rina would normally be the most enthusiastic person when it comes to technology.

"I don't know what happened but thank god there's one less crazy person in this house." beamed Shino, before shivering and backing away from the look Kana was giving him.

Kana, with a cold look in her eyes and a smile that was clearly fake on her face, said "Oh, and who is this crazy person may I ask?".

"Oh would you look at the time, I better get going to work." quickly replied Shino whilst backing away from the scary monster in front of him.

"You work from home, get your butt back here now!" shouted Kana as she took off her other shoe and proceeding to chase her husband around the house.

"Mum's really angry isn't she?" a shivering Mei asked Rina, knowing the answer but wanting confirmation anyway. 

"Yeah she is, let's go to the 'super secret lab' ." suggested Rina, not wanting to get hit by the dangerous throwing weapon that is her mother's shoe. [ A/N: my mum could throw a shoe at me from the kitchen whilst I'm in my bedroom, and my room is in the attic! She got aim assist and wall hax ]

"Yeah, we can make our babies better! Let's go." Mei bobbed her head in excitement before leading the way to the super secret lab, A.K.A the attic.

'Maybe this life won't be so boring' thought Rina with a faint smile on her face whilst thinking of all the possibilities this world has to offer.

This is my first fanfic so don't expect much. I've also got online classes so I can't upload more than 3 times a week.

EDITED

True to his word, about four hours later four men appeared out of thin air in an empty area of the living room next to Sara as she was watching some Anime on Hulu. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head and she tossed her popcorn all over the place when she jumped and screamed startled. They all chuckled and apologized. Hele walked over to the group and Murciél worked  with Sara to clean up the popcorn. "Sara, meet my brothers Mala'ika and Cythraul" Hele said motioning to the dark chocolate man with butt length dreads and the white chocolate looking man with fire orange hair that was shorter on the sides and wavy on the top.

Mala'ika looked down at her on the couch as he towered over her, both he and Cythrual were 6'6" she guessed. His gray eyes looked over her, the sun catching the gold specks in them making his eyes appear to sparkle and he licked his full lips thinking of her in the most inappropriate ways. Cythrual ran a hand through his hair to try and control himself. He had been in the dark so long that seeing his mate made him want to claim her then and there, making sure to put a child within her. His sapphire blue eyes took in her beauty and he smiled to himself. "And this is Mahō and Balaur" he added motioning to an Asian man and European man.
Mahō and Balaur were probably only an inch or so shorter than the first two. Mahō's eyes darted back and forth over her body with his deep brown eyes and had to look away before he did something unreasonable, his hair shifting softly with his movements accentuating the blue ombre tips as the light hit it. Balaur looked over Sara like a predator on the hunt, his green eyes taking in her full image. He never knew what their mate would look like but he was sure as hell happy it looked like her. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and walked over to where she was on the couch.

"Hello lumina mea, my name is Balaur and I'll be one of you wonderful mates, just remember I'm the fav okay?" he joked, plopping down next to her with an ear to ear grin on his face. His voice was deeper than she expected and had a rough gravelly texture to it. He put his hand out for her to shake and she hesitantly took it and shook it. When she thought he was going to let her go he pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling him and her face immediately heated up. His right hand slid along the small of her back and pulled her close and his left and slid up to the nap of her neck pulling her even closer "don't worry my queen, I will keep you warm" he told her before nearly crushing his face to hers.


 Against her better judgement she gave in and melted to him immediately her arms making their way around his neck and she moaned. The kiss was soft at first as if he was testing the waters and seeing what she would let him get away with. He nibbled at her bottom lip and she let out another soft moan and he used the opening to gain entrance to her mouth. Their tongues fought for dominance and he won of course but she was so lost in the taste of him she honestly didn't care. After she came up for air she realized he literally radiated heat that made her feel warm and safe. She was so confused by her instinctual reaction to him, she couldn't look him in the eyes. Had she been lighter they would have seen the color radiating up her cheeks.

"Okay that's enough" Mahō said and Sara levitated off Balaur's body and into Mahō's arms. She started to panic until she settled in his arms and gave him a glaring stare. If looks could kill he'd be 12 feet under. "She is all of ours, just as we are all hers. Share" he finished and walked towards the dining area so they could all sit and talk.

"Um...could you not do that so suddenly?" she asked, clinging to Mahō. "Sumimasen(I'm sorry), watashi no taiyō" he said and kissed her temple before placing her down in a chair. The brothers then took their own seats and began. Sara looked around the table and felt lost like she wasn't sure what she should do next. She got over the initial 'Sweet black baby Jesus these men are fine' shock but her closeness to them was almost like a sensory overload.

"Well raina," Mala'ika started "based on the fact that your only 'fear based' reaction was when we startled you, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's safe to assume you know about the paranormal world?" he asked. It would make things easier, even if she only knew parts, filling in the blanks was better then writing the whole story.

"Kinda?" she answered, making a so-so motion with her hands. "The only experience I had for sure was when I was in the orphanage. There was a nun, Sister Inna, who raised me. One night I had a nightmare, she tried to help me relax and told me that the bible wasn't as accurate as most would believe and then it started storming really hard. She panicked and told me to remember her words and trust no one but my betrotheds..." she trailed off and looked up at the men realizing Sister Inna was referring to them with an 'O' face.

 "But I woke up the next day and she was gone and everyone but me forgot she existed. She was gone without a trace, no pictures or belongings. It was then that I started my own research into the paranormal. As I got older I started to read more books focusing on actual paranormal research and not childhood nonsense like glittering vampires or red riding hood, realizing that there may be some sense of truth to them." she looked down at the table, her face growing warm. "Baby girl what did I say" Hele reminded her and she looked back up.

"Sorry D.." she replied, cutting herself off at the last second before she added 'Daddy'. That was not a topic she wanted to discuss anytime soon. 'Murciél tell me u caught that?' Hele asked in the mind link.  'Fuck yes I did. Later' he replied and Hele nodded. "Anyhow I guess I have a vague concept of mates and what that entails...I just never thought it would happen to me, let alone with 6 guys..." she trailed off, not sure where to go from there.

"You said you had a nightmare" Cythraul started "do you remember it? Are you okay telling us what happened?" Sara nodded and told them about the war zone and bloodshed and battle that she witnessed and all of the men visibly turned pale and looked across the table at one another. "Did I say something wrong?" Sara asked, concerned. "No fy nghalon..." Cythrual replied "but that dream...was a vision of the past," he told her and looked off not sure how to continue.

They sat in silence for some time before she spoke up. "Well this awkward silence is killing me, so subject change! Why don't you all tell me about yourselves? I know Murciél is a Vampire, clearly, what about you guys?" she asked the rest of them.

Thankful for the break in the silence and subject change Hele spoke up first "I am a werewolf, The werewolf king, just as Murciél is the Vampire king" he informed her. Her eyes grew wide and she nodded "are you all kings?" she asked and they all nodded.

"Hele and I were once human, there was a plague ravaging the western hemisphere that we later found out was orchestrated by a dark coven of witches." Murciél informed her. "What they didn't count on was any repercussions or side effects of the spell. At the time I had been bitten by a wolf and Murciél by a bat." Hele finished for him.

"Well then" she said with a short humorless laugh and looked at Mahō "I am a warlock" he told her. "One of the oldest races in existence only second to Mala'ika and Cythraul over there. Magic and natural medicine were believed to be one and the same in the east, especially in my homeland of Japan. I am not the first of my kind however, I am the oldest and most powerful" he informed her.

She smiled inwardly to herself and looked at Balaur who winked at her "I am the mighty dragon king!" he said enthusiastically. Sara stood up so fast she nearly knocked her chair over "wait does that mean you can shapeshift into a beautiful ass dragon and can I ride you!?" she blurted out. She covered her mouth trying to stop her words but it was too late and she fixed her chair and sat back down looking down at the table. Hele decided not to mention it this time as they all tried to stifle their laughs. She meant her words so innocently but they were grown men and she was their mate. Naturally they understood the double meaning and clearly she did, although a little too late. 

"Of course lumina mea, you can ride me however you like whenever you like," he replied with a grin that reached ear to ear and he chuckled. Cythrual smacked Balaur up side the back of his head playfully before turning back to Sara. "For me I suppose it would be the story of what came first. The egg or the dragon? I'm not too sure but like Mahō I am not the first but I am the oldest and most powerful." Balaur added with a cheesy grin.

Sara giggled softly and looked to Cythraul who had a worried look on his face. "I...I'm a demon" he told her worried she would freak. Sara felt her heart nearly beat out her chest but she realized that if the bible was off maybe demons aren't the big bad horrible people they were made out to be in the book and in movies. Plus she felt safe and cared for by all of them so no way they'd let him hurt her. Her heart seemed to relax a bit and Cythrual smiled at her once he realized she accepted him. "And I" Mala'ika started "am an angel" he finished and her jaw nearly fell off. Murciél reached over laughing and closed her mouth for her. "Cythraul and I are the first supernaturals. Unlike the common lore there isn't a God or Jesus per say but there is a heaven and hell. I weigh the heart of the souls I run into and judge them accordingly as does Cythraul."

"And based on their judgment depends on whether an angel like Mala takes them up or a demon like me self escorts them below" Cythraul added.

There was another drawn out silence while they let Sara process all the information they were feeding her. She let out a deep breath slowly and looked at the guys at the table again. She thought back to how alone she felt when Sister Inna disappeared and how she could never be sure about anything. Was she going to make rent, could she afford A meal let alone three, what would happen if she was let go again.

"Gonna be honest guys, this is the first time I've felt legitimately safe, wanted and welcomed in a very long time...Thank you" she told them and wiped the single tear that fell from her face. Even though she was still unsure of what exactly was to come she knew she wouldn't be alone anymore and they would face the unknown with her.

"And we will make sure that you never feel unwanted or unloved for the rest of our days" Balaur said seriously for the first time since they met. They all nodded in agreement and out of nowhere Sara asked "wait so how does this mating thing work exactly?" she asked looking around. She could see the desire and lust in their eyes and blushed but didn't look away. She couldn't act like she wasn't attracted to them either, she felt the pull to them like a really strong magnet.

They all pinned Mala'ika with a look and he rolled his eyes with a sigh. "Well there will be lots of sex involved, however you can choose if you want us all at once, a few at a time or one on one" he told her. Her eyes grew wide and she stared intently at the center of the table weighing her options "and then what?" she asked. "After each one of us had had you fully, we will mark you laying claim to you and we perform a blood exchange with you, through various methods, sealing the bond," he replied.

"What are the marks like, will it hurt?" she asked. "No not at all, they would look like tattoos to the regular human eye but someone of supernatural blood would see more...like an aura coming off it and our names" he replied, not sure how to describe it. She nodded and sighed " well that's.... Interesting to say the least.."

"I volunteer as tribute" Balaur called out and raised his hand in the air pinky and thumb bent down. Sara gave him a deadpanned look "I should make you go last to learn some patience" she retorted. Balaur gasped and put his hand over his heart in feigned hurt and everyone else laughed at him. She could tell he was the jokester of the group but could be serious when it needed to be. If she was ever down he'd put a smile on her face.

As the laughing died down Sara's stomach let it be known it was empty and upset. She groaned and rolled her eyes and the guys laughed again. "I have a strong feeling our ex-bachelor over here doesn't have enough food for all of us so we can order take-out or go out to eat. Your call awydd" Cythrual told Sara.

"But I don't have any money" she informed them and as they all gave her a deadpan look. She realized she most likely wouldn't be paying for anything, anytime soon. "Ah...well I heard Jrs. had great cheesecake" she said hoping that wasn't a lie. "That they do but cheesecake isn't a meal" Murciél retorted.

"I mean it could be" Sara retorted, sounding like a kid throwing a tantrum. "Babygirl. You need food, we can get cheesecake for dessert" Murciél said to her and she scoffed. "Fine," she said, throwing her arms in the air in defeat. Hele raised a brow at her and looked to his brother Murciél "Noted" he said looking back at her. It was at this moment, Sara realized. She. Fucked. Up. "No wait, I'm sorry!" Sara said, her voice sounding younger. "Aht no, too late baby girl" Murciél replied and she groaned inwardly to herself. "I like italian" she blurted out trying to shift the focus back onto the topic of food and not her.

"That seems like a reasonable request" Balaur stated getting up and the others following suit. "Shit" sara said and realized she was still in her Pjs "I don't have clothes and I haven't had a chance to shower" she reminded them. "Go back to your room, I'll make sure there's toiletries and clothes for you. We can wait" Mahō told her and he snapped his fingers, his eyes changing colors a bit before returning to normal. "Right..." she said and did as she was told.

The bathroom was bigger than any bedroom she's ever had to herself. It kept the same black marble and grayscale theme but there was a lot of gold woven in. There was a multi-person deep tub with jets, that she definitely intended to test out later. There was a massive shower stall with 3 shower heads all with a removable center and a marble seat with rubber matting around it so you wouldn't slip. Sara noticed the lemon sugar scrub and got to work washing the last few days off of herself. 

After about 15 minutes of bathing under water hotter than the tears of Satan and her body melting into relaxation she stepped out. "So fresh and so clean, clean" she sang to herself putting her hair up in a towel. She didn't have time to wash it properly but she put in some moisturizer and would wash it later. It was a 2 hour long process and she was debating on conning one or a few of the guys into helping her. She sighed to herself getting dressed, washing her face and brushing her teeth.

Sarauniya was an orphan since she can remember. Life was never easy in the system and only got harder out of it. Problems seems to follow her everywhere but things turn around for her on her 25th birthday. While literally running from her newest life changing event she runs into Murciél. A member of the Brotherhood of Kings. Murciél saves Sarauniya by dining on her attackers and while frozen in fear he walks up to her and caresses her cheek and mutters "mate" before he puts her to sleep in his arms.
